My K11

[Charlie123]

hi everyone i have just bought this Micra K11 off my next door neighbour and i do have a plan of what i want it to look like when im finished but as i am not earning much at the moment mods will be slow but i am hoping that they will be tasteful, i got a micra because i wanted a change from the usual first car corsa's etc. its a 52 plate face lift first job is to paint the grille black and get some hub caps for my wheels so that i can get the plastic wheel trims off then spray the steel wheels gloss black until i can afford some alloys View attachment 24118

New bonnet would be easiest, they're not expensive.

Getting rid of that will be time costly
